Harry Clarke

One of Irelands best-known and loved artists, Harry Clarke was born in Dublin in 1889, and trained in the art of stained glass in his fathers church decorating workshop, and in the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. While he went on to develop a unique style that was very much influenced by Symbolism, the three windows in the Harry Clarke room on the second floor of the Crawford Art Gallery are important works. Purchased directly from the artist by the Gibson Bequest Committee in 1924.Read moreRead less
